Corliss 2013 Cab and Red: Act Quickly

Last year, our Corliss Cabernet and Red Wine stash sold out in minutes. Literally. Sure, the reviews are stellar but it's more the track record of excellence these wines enjoy. And even more so, they've become customer favorites and we have requests months before release.

In our opinion (which is mirrored by some of the world's leading wine critics, in this case the highly respected and very conservative scorer, Steve Tanzer) these aretwo of the best Washington reds available. We encourage you to please stake your claim quickly -- we do not exaggerate when we describe how quickly we expect these wines to move. Corliss Estates Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

96+ points Vinous:"Extremely primary, pure aromas and flavors of inky cassis, blueberry, licorice and minerals. Tight and high-pitched in the mouth, displaying outstanding depth, energy and minerality but extremely closed in the early going. This huge wine finishes with chewy, late-arriving, toothdusting tannins that will require cellaring, even after the wine is released in the fall of 2018. Corliss has increased its use of tight-grained Saint-Martin barrels in this wine, and it will need a while to absorb the oak. Distinctly cool, even a bit medicinal, for the 2013 vintage, this is likely to be very long-lived. Winemaker Andre Trio told me he added a bit of Petit Verdot 'for back-palate texture and finer-grained tannins.'" -Stephen Tanzer
